Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at - Washington, Rappahannock * County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher "Application for entry as secondclass matter is pending. Subscription: — $2.00 a year EDITORIAL Thanksgiving Dr. W. G. Pendleton St. Paul says • that we must "Give thanks always for all things unto God." Now we know that prayer naturally reminds us of our wants, our imperfections and Our needs; confession reminds us it our misdeeds, while thanksgiving must be a more pleasant occupation because it reminds us of God’s goodness to us, so comes from a feeling of gratitude for what God has done for us. Giving thanks should assays b<£^neof the characteristics of the Christian life, for a cheerful face, a contented mind and a grateful heart should always belong to a person who is a real Christian. The true Christian takes no anxious thought for the morrow and is profoundly thankful for today and' yesterday, even when yesterday was full of (trouble and tomorrow gives promise of a Storm. Yes, Christians should give thanks always for all things unto God. Now that is an ideal, bat it is not an impossible ideal for it was realized in the life of Christ. He faced a world of sorrow, sin and death, yet that knowledge did not discourage or depress Him. He did not go about with a sad face, though the artists of the world have done.Him a great injustice t>y making morft all likenesses of Him to represent the ‘‘Man of. Sorrows," rather than the Man - of Joy. Of course He had his moments of sorrow, like at the grave ef Xasaroe, Uke vrooptag over Jerusalem, and in the Carden'' of Gethsamene. But these were only momenta tn Him life. The great Days of His life were lived out in the light, and were full of happiness, peace and joy. And so o^r religion ought to do that for us. If we have any religion, it ought to give us peace, when everything else fails. The promise is "They shall be kept in perfect peace, whosje minds are stayed on God." So we ought to give thanks always for alb things. But there "are two ways in which we commonly neglect thia precept. First we neglect to give thanks for the COMMON thing* of life, And then we fail to give thanks for the HARD things. We do not give thanks for the common things of life because we do not. stop to think, and we do not give thanks for the hard things of life, because we do not trust, we do not have faith. ... All of os know that we are not sufficiently appreciative of the common blessings of life. God is always with vs, guiding, guarding and ministering to our wants, —the air that we breathe, pie sunshine that brightens life and makes nature minister, to our needs, the beauty of the, world and all that makes life pleasant and happy—ell of these are universal blessings, bat they are taken as a matter of course, so we never give thanks because we do not stop to think. The two words "Thank” and "Think" come from the same root word. Thanking is simply the fruit of thinking. Therefore to giro thanks always for all things moans that there ^liiit be on our part the habit of alert and sympathetic attenion, —- careful thinking, — which will lead to the appreciation and enjoyment of all the common —Y« ’WhATS dHrefence wo find between people!

Be sees all the beauties of nature, the people Along" the way who give him interest, so his mind "is full of cheerful thoughts. So the way of life is largely what we make ftf* it is a matter of temperament.

They can walk the earth as Enoch walked it,—with God as his companion. Then they will be.able to give thanks to God for all thing*. But our hardest problem is to be thankful for the hard things of life. How can the poor, the sick, the unfortunate be thankful? But the truth is that in many cases we lind that these are the most thankful people You recall that it was said of St. Paul that he “Thanked God and took courage,” and that was between a shipwreck and prison. He had just been in peril of the sea, and was now going to a greater peril, where his life was at stake. But this caused him to think more deeply, so he ‘'Thanked God and took courage.” The only way that we can solve these problems.in life is to Trust in God. The. little child takes the father’s hand and goes out into the blackest night with a feeling of perfect confidence. So if we trust in God, then we knoy that God is leading us, we know that our lives are secure in His hands, and then we can appreciate all the common •blessings'' of life, and trust- Him to take care of all the hard things of life, so that we can then “give thanks always for all things unto God.” Letters of Greeting Letters of good wishes and encouragement for .

That He _jgay fcles^you in jrour labors^ and restore you m safety to your family and friends is my fervent prayer. Vr" ‘ I am very much obliged to you, dear Major/for the uniform and blanket you so kindly aent me. I beg that you will not add to your troubles by administering to my comfort. We have, partly owing to your efforts and partly to the exertions of our people, everything we actually want. All else we can dispense with. Truly and gratefully yours, R. E. Lee. Every written word of Gen. Lee should be preserved as an inspiration to all people down through the ages that are to come. This letter was in the possession of (William Wirt Henry, ■ grandson of Patrick Henry. William Wirt, named for the .southern historian, friend and admirer of his illustrious grandfather. Mr. Henry grew up at Patrick Henry's , old home, *MUd Hill,” in Charlotte county. He -wee-tall, slender, not good-looking in a “flesh and blood” style, but of striking appearance. Possessing a brilliant niind, gifted in conversation, and one of those “born readers;” to hear him read ‘‘Uncle Remus” was indeed a treat I always felt that he was a creature of* circumstance and might have been a second Patrick Henry, had he been called on to be the hero of hit country. Ho graduated in law but being of such a nervous temperament be collapsed when . making his first. speech and hover entered courtroom in a professional way again. ' He went west to Duluth as a real-estate man. He married charming Anna Dulaney of “Sts. Hill” in Prince William county. She lived only two months, contracting fever while on their honeymoon in Duluth. He then retired to “iRed Hill” and latter, married beautiful Mary Dulaney, sister of his first wife. They lived at Sts. Hill. • . -v Had I seen Gen. Lee’s letter (before Mr, Henry's death, perhaps I could tell you why Maj. Ferguson of the Confederate Army was. in England. Maj. Ferguson had evidently gone to England on business for the Confederate government. Before the War Between ♦he States the south had furnished ^ cotton for the English factories.

' It sounds funny to any ‘'Keep Virginia Green” now with alt the dry crispness of our mountains and fields, but so goes the work of God. iWe must care now for this dry, crisp state of ours, so when the sun begins to bring forth the buds and green leaves ■on the trees, with this dry leafy fire trap beneath, there will be no charred trunks and branches to mar their beauty. What is more fearful than a blazing forest? cFlames climbing up the tree tops to leap to others, and so on until a large area fags been left, a mass of ashes, all . life gone? Little animals fleeing from their homes and feeding ^grounds, birds flying to safety, and people taking what posseseions they can carry and going from homes they have built., Yes, these are fearful. That is.'why we must be so careful about any fire . we may handle. Campfires, lighted matches and cigarettes must be extinguished before we leave them or throw them away. It is not much trouble to throw a little dirt on a camp fire, or to. ffrind a match or cigarette out, •' with our heel. These three things ‘ •re what causa most forest .fires. lotY try this year to m»ki ,-p bigger effort to help our wardens - and ourselves by helping to “Keep . Virginia Green." * • --■. ... .

Washington High School, Washington, ‘Virginia v Staff of “LITTLE WASHINGTON POST* Faculty Adviser .......... MRS. HAZEL CORBIN Editor-in-chief V*...... GLADYS REID Assistant Editor.. PHYLISS HUDSON Reporters Alice Mae Coughlin..Helen Zinn Eloise Estes . ..Shirley Woodard Helen Nethers ........ Mary Kay Finch am Thanksgiving. By: Peggy Ann Green One of the nanny things we have to be thankful for is Thanksgiving Day. * When the Pilgrims came across the* ocean to have religious freedom here in thin country, they landed at Plymouth Rock in December, 1620. This country was bleak and desolate and the Pilgrims suffered greatly, but these brave people were not discouraged. They built houses for themselves, made friends with the Indians who showed .them how to shoot fish with arrows, and they learned many ether things from the Indians, too. When the Pilgrims harvested their crops and found there was an-Abundance of drain, there was much happiness in the Plymouth Colony. It seemed to our Pilgrim Fathers there was so great a cause for thankfulness that they made a special time of rejoicing, and Governor Bradford proclaimed a day of Thinksgiring. . He sent out men m search of game and they returned with large numbers of wild fowl which'were mostly turkeys. That was the first public appearance of our famed Thanksgiving turkey. This feast lasted nearly a week and a number of friendly Indians, with their chief, Massasoit, were invited to' share in the. festivities. After this tims the Pilgrims hid other similar days of Thanksgiving but the holiday was not regularly observed. The .first Thanksgiving proclamation issued by a president was after the Revolutionary War, when President Washington appointed—November 26, 1783 as a day of general Thanksgiving and prayer. It was President Lincoln who final- - ly established our Thanksgiving .Day as a permanent and regular holiday which was to (be the last ■’ Thursday in November. Hev planned to have it an annual holiday and every President since has followed his example. Almost all countries have days of Thanksgiving, even as far back as the Bible tells us, but not any Fire-Fighters of W.H.S. A meeting for the purpose of organizing a fire-fighting squad of boys of W.H.S. was held Friday,.; November 1>8, in the office of Mr. Link. Mr. Johnson told the boys two qualifications to join th»'s group. First, the boy must be 15 yearh of age, and second, be must have the permission of.his parents. * The school squad was divided into crews led by appointed lead* ers: Frank Goode from Flint Hill, Charles Scroggins, Washington, and-George Lawrence, Amissville. This organization is worthy of much praise. We are thankful that we have this opportunity to learn something about fighting fires. F. F. A. New* ^ (By Shirley Woodard) The following boys from Washington chapter made up our forestry judging team last Saturday in the Northern Triangle Federation judging contest held at Front . iRoyal, and placed third. (1) Garfield ‘Burke. (2) Irvin Corbin. <3) Charles Brown. There were seven teams competing in this event. s Our baby chicks are coming along nicely. An electric brooder is being used and accurate records are being kept on the feed, labor, etc., each week. We hope to have them weighing four pounds before Christmas. At six weeks old they weigh 114 pounds each. If there is anyone that, can beat this, we would like to hear ; from them. If Billy Putnam could play ball like he can sell vanilla, he would be “red hot.” —*--*----:_ of these feast days can compare with , ours. Think of a Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, that_ fine old American bird, and what, other country has something to take the place of that wonderful pumpkin pie! Thanksgiving Day is a day of big family dinners and festive entertainments, .but beyond this it is a day of giving THANKS. , •.. the big, handsome beauty you've been waiting for—and the finest performer Maytag ever built Come in and see it • -&-V1 j*. ;v, YOU CAN DO BUSINESS AT [Jones Radio Shop JPHQNE 7671 ^ ?<*,,*** CULPEPER Girl Receives Letter From Dept of Commence In senior government class the discussion led te tides end Mr. link told of the tide-predicting machine which he had seen at the Coastal. Geodetic Survey. A letter was written te the Department of Commerce for more information. The machine is used for predicting the times end heights of the tide for the tide tables published each year in advance by the Coastal Geodetic Survey. It was designed and cons ti-ucted in the instrument shops of the survey and pis the only machine of its kind in the United States. The tides are brought about by the attraction of sun and moon, hence the tide-producing forces are distribu ed over the earth in a regular pattern. The valves are set on the tide-pred;cting machine which takes account of 37 simple constituent tides and operation of the machine then shows automatically the times and heights of the successive high and low waters that will occur at the place during the year in question. Advance information relative to the rise and. fall of the tide hat become an indispensible aid in a number of the problems ass 'Hated with maritime commerce of today. Doe to the tide the depth of water under the, keel of a ship is constantly changing anid^ for the safety of (both life and property the mariner must know the available depth at all times. Not alone to the mariner are tide predictors important, for. advance knowledge of the stage of the tide is becoming valuable to the fishing industry and to the engineer engaged' on projects of river and harbor improvement. Interviewing A Graduate (iBy Helen Zinn) As a reporter to the Little Washington Post, I was asked to interview a graduate. I chose Dorothy Z. Hackley as my victim. The day was bright and sunny. Any other* day my every emotion would have been aroused by the beauty of God's 'handiwork. But today was different, I rhad to make an interview of a distin-_ guished member of the alumni. And 1 had no idea how to begni. Thousands of questions' entered my mind:—-what would I say first?—(What would the response to /my questions fee? I knocked on the door, not knoying how to begin, so I was a little shakey. After the greet-'ing I blurted out a question I _ thought would be good, ‘‘What do you remember best about your years at Washington High?” Her reply was *The people I came in ’ contact with, of course the teachers come first, there was such a variety of educations that differ so greatly whith made my learning so much easier to grasp and make it stick in my mind in these years I’ve been away from W.H.S. Then, top, the pupils that I was with constantly ^ gave me something to- really think abogt such a8—would I like to be like him? or would I rather be like someone else? This question was answered when I went into nurses training after I completed my high school course." ; 'Next I asked if she was glad she finished school; her answer was “I am because if I had quit ' before my four years were completed, i never could have gotten into the Held of work t have strived to Ht into/' I>o you regret not going to a 'larger school, or do you find that you accomplished as much at Washnigton 'High? ‘‘No I guess I really don’t regret not going to a larger school, because I believe the contact with the teacher* and the class discussions are more detailed in a small group than in a larger one. And this to me means more than ju#t reading something nnd trying to .learn it that way.” What subjects proved to be your greatest assets in the work you did?’ ‘'Latin in nursing andL aeronautics in my work at the National Airport, not that I did work concerning a plane, but it was the inters#‘I.had In *I*h*si tfeat mad* ivork more pleasant. English of course is the greatest help in every phase of life. You should always know the correct way to speak.”; Do you have any advice to give the pupils of W.H.S.? “Study and work hard with your subjects and you’ll never regret the day you finish and have set out to reach a goal. I might add that in the summer work I did before my nurse "'cadet'training, nursing and also' in the work I dM at the airport the people I worked fpr all said they’d rather have a country girl iu mnt fwmga'TBBnrwiy1 guv “Travel With Book.” Where-to first? The wilds of Africa, where hungry tigers crouch on every low branch or to . the romantic atmosphere of tih* tropical islandst - \ No, you don't have to buy a • ticket for a luxury liner or stow away on a merchant vessel to enjoy these thrills and joys. Merely take a stroll to the library. There you can find types- of. books from Compton’s encyclopedias and' other research books to Douglas’ novels and Shaw’s limerick*. . Books to fit yotr every mood and, which carry you into every land. Last week was set aside as National Book Week—a time in which to show our appreciation for our friends—<boolcs. Mrs. Moffett, our very helpful librarian, supervised the drawing of numerous posters which adorned. the library. As we were told in Mrs. lank’s assembly program: Men may come . and men may go, But books go oh . forever. When did you last read a book? Ninth Grade New*'"/ The freshman class has the following five-pointers: Shirley Wea-.. ver, Shirley Jurnigan, Peggy Ann Green, Barbara Griffin, and Bobbie Massie. We hope that more of . ouF ^lau will become Bve-peinters soon. Our elass has 100% membership enrollment in the Junior fted Cross with a total of *1.97. The initiation of the F.F.A. boys was held Friday, November - 11. William Burke, NewbUl Mil-' ler, Daniel Keyser, and Douglas . Martin were initiated from our class. All of them came back groaning with molasses smeared over their faces. . We are very sorry Annie Mary Williams is sick and we hope she will soon be back with us. We are glad Shirley Jurnigan and Billy Holmes have decided to come back to school and we hope they will continue until graduation night. Book* Go On Forerer A splendid assembly was - presented- last 'Friday by 8-L under the direction of Mrs. Link. We learned that ‘iBooks Go On Forever” and that our books should 'receive care. Since this is the <first ~ time this group has presented a . program to the high school, we feet they acted well. This Was a"*' fine remembrance of book week. Delores Foster is mighty gay ~ When around that guy Ray. Here and There We hope that Mr. Burke, who broke his arm in an automobile accident, will recover rapidly and .soon be back with us. >. The Student Council has bought a new coke tbox. This cooler, badly ' needed, has added to the enjoy* ment of cold drinks by the pupils. What was that big discussion Lillian 8., Lucy Mae S./ and the other Blue (Bonnets had over trap" -doors?' J ” Everybody is glad to see Gor* don Thompson back in school after his recent illness.

We ALL Can Be D.P.’s • Change doublets and hose for sweaters and slacks —* swap the Mayflower for the S. S. America — sketch a few skyscrapers in the background — and you’ve got a flair picture of a group of * D.P.’s — Displaced Persons — arriving in 1949 on American soil. "Attitudes? The same — Thanksgiving for a Safe voyage to a land of freedom and opportunity. Intentions? Identical — to make a home safe from oppression and to help build a great nation. In 1620 — 1760 — 1848 — as in' 1949, America was enriched - •'t by the men and women Who stepped ashore with faith in. their hearts and a spark of hope in their eyes. Fresh j^om persecution and tyranny, they have always hungered for the blessings, the dignity and the responsibility of self-government._■ ~ .__ To such people citizenship has ail'ways meant the opportunity to vote wfthodt coercion — to join in civic movements — to serve gladly on juries — to give their time and strength to comimmity affairs — to do the things denied them in the lands of their birth. To the extent that we, too, gladly meet our responsibilities of free citizenship we are all members of the Mayflower Company —Nwe are all D.P.’a , Sometimes those of us who are '‘native born’’ take our citizenship for granted. We forget what it means to 'be an American. We say “Xet the government do it — or the other fellow” in a way that would put 6ur immigrating ancestors — or their modem D.P. counterparts — to shame. We forget that we are government — local, state and national — only as long as We are willing to exercise Our rights as free people. __* _ We would hate to lose those rights. Other peoples have. We must work to keep them. Today and every day.
